What Stage Is The Prostate Cancer?
Doctors divide prostate cancer into four stages, Stage I, II, III and IV. This will be determined by the cancer whether it affects just part of the prostate or the whole prostate and whether it has spread to other places in your body. So, if you are diagnosed with prostate cancer, the important question becomes, what stage is it? If you are fortunate, the cancer will be at Stage I, which is the easiest to treat. The worst possible news would be that the cancer is at Stage IV. How you decide about your treatment is a complex process. As you will see there are a number of different treatments available, depending on the stage of your prostate cancer. You may find it helpful to talk with your doctors, family, friends and other men who have had to make a similar decision. Also, there are a number of support groups that can provide you with more information.
